... now.Name is likely to be infested by cybersquatters (and I am using the term "cybersquatter" loosely to mean someone to buys up names just so someone else can't have it, regardless if it owns a trademark or not) that put up "search" sites like Netster.com, Modern Web Development, Ultimate Search, MegaGo.com, and a slew of other rotten trash "companies."

So much for getting a desirable name. Even if I wanted "doug.name," it'll probably get bought by a cybersquatter whose name isn't Doug. If a person's name really is Doug, then they have as much right to the name as I do. If it isn't, they should get their hands off of it.

well, obviously the problem is that your parents did not have much vision to give you a common name like "doug". some parents understood the namespace (like maybe those that went to van nuys high school) and chose names for their kids such as "shaquille" or "kobe". but, before going off telling your parents how disadvantaged they have made you, there are laws that allow one to change their legal name which is likely what your vision-less parents would tell you...what was that name prince changed his to? was it.iii?
